Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I can't remove the video from showing.

A New Jersey man was on a flight traveling from Atlanta to Newark on June 4, 2026, while wearing a T-shirt that said, "Bombing kids is not self defense."

At work the other day, had someone very upset about someone in a fur suit that was a customer. Like they seemed to expect that I would kick them out because of the costume…

Back in the 90s... friends and I went to a restaurant with a salad bar that no longer exists, in full goth wear. Another customer there loudly complained to staff that we should be kicked out because of what we were wearing (no nudity. no graphics or words, just lots of black, eyeliner and big boots) the whole time. He arrived shortly after us and, while we could hear him repeatedly saying things, he never directly spoke to us. Weirdo.

Staff was very polite to us, and we to them, other dude was the only one freaking out.

I'm always super impressed at the amount of work that goes into goth outfits. More generally there are not many "tribe" appearances that don't require effort or sacrifice of some sort.

A fur suit. Like ... OwO?

I'm sure you work somewhere where the public is allowed. Maybe a convention center or something? But I was picturing cubicles, fluorescent lighting, rolling chairs, computers, and a man in a full panther costume who goes by Space Paws

That's just IT, they're chill. Don't know how they do half the tech wizardry they do, let alone in those bigass paws.

Space Paws TPS reports are spotless. One might say they are purfect.

Legit, that's my plan if i ever get forced to return to office for work.

Straight up fur suit every day. That's not even my thing. No idea where i'd get one or what they cost. I just figure, if they want to fuck with my day, they're going to get it right back with interest.
